On April 19, a Russian Tupolev Tu-22M Backfire bomber crashed in Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.
The footage capturing the incident was shared across social media platforms. It depicted the Russian bomber engulfed in flames, spiraling in a flat spin during its descent.
The Ukrainian government claimed responsibility.
Air Force Commander Mykola Oleshchuk said, “For the first time, the anti-aircraft missile units of the (Ukrainian) Air Force, in cooperation with Ukraine’s Main Directorate of Intelligence, destroyed a Tu-22M3 long-range strategic bomber – the carrier of Kh-22 cruise missiles, which the Russian terrorists use to attack peaceful Ukrainian cities.”
